When one of them saw that he was healed, he turned back and praised God in a loud voice.
16
He quickly bowed at Jesus' feet and thanked him. (The man was a Samaritan.)
17
Jesus asked, "Weren't ten men made clean? Where are the other nine?
18
Only this foreigner came back to praise God."
19
Jesus told the man, "Get up, and go home! Your faith has made you well."
20
The Pharisees asked Jesus when the kingdom of God would come. He answered them, "People can't observe the coming of the kingdom of God.
21
They can't say, 'Here it is!' or 'There it is!' You see, the kingdom of God is within you."
22
Jesus said to his disciples, "The time will come when you will long to see one of the days of the Son of Man, but you will not see it.
23
People will say, 'There he is!' or 'Here he is!' Don't run after those people.
24
The day of the Son of Man will be like lightning that flashes from one end of the sky to the other.
25
But first he must suffer a lot and be rejected by the people of his day.
